Main-Sequence and sub-giant stars in the Globular Cluster NGC6397: The complex evolution of the lithium abundance

J. I. González Hernández, P. Bonifacio, E. Caffau +6

Thanks to the high multiplex and efficiency of Giraffe at the VLT we have been able for the first time to observe the Li I doublet in the Main Sequence (MS) stars of a Globular Clu…

Lithium in the Globular Cluster NGC 6397: Evidence for dependence on evolutionary status

J. I. Gonzalez Hernandez, P. Bonifacio, E. Caffau +6

Most Globular Clusters are believed to host a single stellar populations. They can thus be considered a good place to study the Spite plateau and probe for possible evolutionary mo…

Lithium abundances of Main Sequence and Sub-Giant stars in the Globular Cluster NGC 6397

J. I. González Hernández, P. Bonifacio, E. Caffau +6

We present FLAMES/GIRAFFE spectroscopy obtained at the Very Large Telescope (VLT). Using these observations we have been able for the first time to observe the Li I doublet in the…

3D molecular line formation in dwarf carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars

N. T. Behara, H. -G. Ludwig, P. Bonifacio +3

We present a detailed analysis of the carbon and nitrogen abundances of two dwarf carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars: SDSS J1349-0229 and SDSS J0912+0216. We also report the o…

Detailed analyses of three neutron-capture-rich carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars

N. T. Behara, P. Bonifacio, H. -G. Ludwig +3

Approximately 20% of very metal-poor stars ([Fe/H] < -2.0) are strongly enhanced in carbon ([C/Fe] > +1.0). Such stars are referred to as carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars. W…

Impact of granulation effects on the use of Balmer lines as temperature indicators

H. -G. Ludwig, N. T. Behara, M. Steffen +1

Balmer lines serve as important indicators of stellar effective temperatures in late-type stellar spectra. One of their modelling uncertainties is the influence of convective flows…
